Dalat in Cherry Season

After more than half a month of cold weather with a drastic change in temperature, cherry apricots have bloomed all over Da Lat City. Cherry apricot represents the coming spring in Da Lat and surrounding areas with the same altitude and the same climate zone. 

When this flower blooms, it means that the weather is at its best: golden sunshine, long sunshine time compared to before, dry weather; but it is also the most extreme time: the temperature range is large (the temperature in the early morning is very different from that from noon to evening). 

Usually, cherry apricot blossoms begin from the outskirts of Da Lat, the Lac Duong area - where the temperature is higher and the temperature amplitude is larger than Da Lat, then to the inner city. However, this year the cherry blossoms are blooming from the suburbs to the inner city. 

The old trees have begun to bloom. The small-stemmed cherry apricot trees have shed their leaves and are ready to bloom. Compared to the previous year, this year's cherry apricot blossomed 2 weeks earlier. 

Many tourists who love cherry apricots but do not plan to come to Da Lat for Christmas and New Year are surprised to hear that this flower has bloomed. Many people said that they are arranging their time to go to Da Lat to take pictures or do selfies and watch flowers. 

People who have lived in Da Lat for many years said that the cherry apricot has just begun to bloom and will bloom in the following 2 weeks, after blooming, the flowers will begin to fade, in 2 weeks and stop a short time later. 

However, this statement is only true if in the following month it is still sunny and cold. If it turns to rain, the flower season will end about a week after the rain. When the flowering season ends, the apricot cherry blossoms will produce young leaves, and the apricot fruit will replace the previous brilliant flowers. 

At this time, the foothills of Langbiang mountain (Lat commune, Lac Duong District), Da Nhim commune (Lac Duong district) and Cau Dat area are the places with the most beautiful cherry blossoms. In the inner city of Da Lat, flowers have only bloomed sporadically on many old trees, but the small trees have just shed their leaves and started to bud.
